A little late in getting this thread up, but I thought why not? Always interesting to glance back at the end of the year. Post yours up below, I'll bring this thread up again after the last round has been completed.
-------------------------------------------------
1. Hawthorn - Not sure they'll win the GF but I think they'll be most consistent.
2. Sydney - Providing they are injury free, it's a scary list of talent.
3. Fremantle - Think they'll drop occasional H&A games, but are primed for finals footy.
4. North Melbourne - Super talented/attacking list. Fix defensive issues and they should finish here.
5. Richmond - Not yet convinced but IIRC their draw is favorable in the first 10 weeks.
6. Essendon - Could finish higher, could finish lower. Still the obvious question marks.
7. Geelong - Time to slide, home ground advantage saves them from falling out of the 8.
8. Collingwood - Very questionable depth. Best 22 is talented and on the up though.
-----
9. Adelaide - Lack of a forward half still hurts, ditto injuries.
10. Port Adelaide - Tougher draw, not a 'surprise' side anymore. Still rate them.
11. West Coast - If injury free the home ground advantage saves them from a lower finish.
12. Gold Coast - Another 12 months off for mine. Fierce competition for the 8, isn't there?
13. Western Bulldogs - As with the above sides, could finish higher. Better side than '13th' will suggest.
14. Carlton - Average list, can see calls for Mick to be sacked.
15. Brisbane - Poor forward line and last years exodus really hurts.
16. Melbourne - Slight improvement should occur, may finish slightly higher if injury free.
17. GWS - Improvement is needed and should be forthcoming.
18. St. Kilda - Terrible list.
